still best wr year ever that ive seen. Still my fav year of football. Was heavy on run & shoot falcons that year. (metcalf, mathis, emmanuel)

[@scottb3034]

Most underrated receiver ever. the man lost the receiving record crown by 70 yards to jerry rice as a 22 year old 2nd year pro and had Chris Miller as his QB not steve young. Ridiculous. And yet never gets mentioned as a top 5 receiver ever.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. He came out of nowhere during his second season to play like he did in 1995. Thanks for adding in the extra stats.

[@scottb3034]

@@90sSportsNostalgia indeed, very good video bringing an historic season back into the light. Doing good work.

[@emoo.182]

Him and his future teammate Torry holt are the 2 most underrated Wrs of all time. Both top 5 ever imo and both as equally good as each other imo. The best

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I enjoyed watching your brother play so much and he was cool to talk to when the Rams used to have training camp at Macomb, Illinois (Western Illinois University). Congrats to your brother and enjoy everything. Thanks again.

Bruce was my favorite Ram growing up in St. Louis. I loved how good he was at the game and his dedication to Jesus. He's still my favorite Ram, for that matter. Lots of good memories of watching the Rams as a kid, even before they became the greatest show on turf. It really got exciting when they were the greatest show on turf. I can remember Bruce hoping that him, Warner, Holt, Pace and Faulk might even be able to get into the Hall Of Fame at the same time.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Easily one of the most underrated 10k receivers of all time

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

I think many would agree with you. Nice to hear from you JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly. I hope you are doing well. Enjoy Week 1 of the NFL season.

This man had 1000 yard season with 7 TD's back in 2008 with 49ers Dude was like 38 at the time

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you for the comment. It was strange seeing Bruce in the red and gold later in his career. Thanks again I appreciate it.

[@doctorweston05]

He never had a 1000 yard season with the 9ers

[@RoeserFan1]

@@doctorweston05 Think it was about 850. He was 36.

[@FUNK1GANS]

Great video, I always think of his 95 season. He was my favorite player, I was so hurt the rams had just left LA for St. Louis, watching him in St. Louis always gave me a taste of the LA rams as if they were still there

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate your words. Thank you so much and enjoy the NFL Playoffs.

[@Fireyninjadog]

His numbers in every category went down in 96, and he made the pro bowl. Yet, his godly numbers in 95 didn't get him an invite to hawai

[@wendellporter2383]

I didn’t even know Bruce had this kind of campaign those are insane numbers

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment and for spending time to watch this video. I greatly appreciate it. Isaac was awesome in '95. It was a fun year for WRs that year. Thanks again.

[@Egavans]

Fun fact; in addition to all of what you listed, Isaac Bruce also blocked a punt in the opening game of the season at Green Bay. I didn't look this up, but I bet Bruce holds the record for most receptions and receiving yardage in a season in which the player also recorded a block on special teams.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the post and the extra information. You are correct about Isaac Bruce during the opening week. In fact, he was the special teams player of the week that week. I just wasn't able to fit it in to continue to flow of mentioning Bruce's stats and didn't have the time or space to make a note about it. Nonetheless, thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Happy Halloween.

[@Leuzer6]

Not only did he block the punt, but he also recovered it and caught a touchdown pass on the very next play.

[@TheAlexZorba]

Great video. Bruce finally got voted in the HoF. Its about time the morons in the media recognized this amazing player.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment. I greatly appreciate it.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Have always wondered if Shannon Sharpe holds a grudge against Favre for his brother Sterling’s injury which causes his early retirement.

[@Archman2312]

I love your editing style and audio. It matches the 90s so well. It's a great touch.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. And thanks for watching this video. Isaac Bruce's 1995 season is very interesting to me. Enjoy the Super Bowl and thanks a lot for subscribing. I am going to start on the Sacramento Kings in the 1990s. Thanks again.

[@nosweatsports]

Unbelievable video. Bruce in 1995, along with Matthew Stafford in 2011, are two of the biggest Pro Bowl snubs of all time. Love your content. As I stated before, this whole throwback concept is magnificent from the information, the breakdowns and the whole 90s transitions and overall "look." Would love to collaborate with you at some point in the foreseeable future. I've been posting KZbin videos for a few years, and I'm trying to get to that next level of noteriety.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for telling me about Matthew Stafford in 2011. I forgot all about his 2011 season. I miss watching Stafford just chucking the ball all over. I hope his back gets better. Thanks again for your comment.

[@wendellporter2383]

Sterling sharpe was truly a monster who was ahead of his time

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Sterling was so good. I want to do a video on him and I hope to this fall about how he should be in the HOF. If he didn't hurt his neck, he would have put up insane numbers during Favre's prime. Thank you so much for the comments. I greatly appreciate it.

@@90sSportsNostalgia no problem... dont know if you take request but could you possibly make a vid about shaq & penny or grant hill during his pistons stint

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Yes I take requests and have done them before, but I can't make promises that I will be able to do it because lately my time is not as free. However, I do want to do a basketball team of the 90s and because of your request, I will do my best to do the Detroit Pistons of the 90s before the end of the year. I am not from Detroit but I already did the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers of the 90s videos. But because of your request, I will gladly do the Pistons of the 90s which mainly consists of Grant Hill. I loved the Penny and Shaq combo but there has already been solid documentation of them which includes the ESPN 30 for 30. But thanks for the request and will try to finish in December. Enjoy the football games this weekend.

Beast video bro

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it greatly.

[@benvu2364]

Thanks for making this video! I always mention this year by Isaac Bruce. If it wasn't for Jerry Rice, Bruce would have held the record all those years until Megatron broke it. I'm so glad you mentioned the talent or lack there of around each receiver. The Rams were terrible in the early and mid 90's. I mean look at their list of quarterbacks: Chris Miller, Chris Chandler, Mark Rypien, Tony Banks, etc. Isaac Bruce also the held the record for many years for the most catches in the first three seasons of any receivers career. Truly remarkable. If he never had a hamstring issue, who knows how many more yards he would have, albeit he had a great career anyways. He will always be my favorite receiver of all time! Go Rams!

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I greatly appreciate it. This is one of my favorite videos that I made and I am so glad that you liked it. Thank you. But you're right, in the late 90s but before the GSOT days, Bruce had hamstring issues. Thank you so much as I enjoyed reading your comments. Take care.

[@clashofthehornsofficialytu2082]

Man bro u do so much good work that is going unnoticed i shared it to Twitter

[@mreger6]

The 2nd most yard by a wide receiver in NFL history on a horrible team. Rice had to have Young throw him the ball in their last game in 95 (280+yards) to beat Bruce's Yards.. BRUCE HOF!!!! He needs to be inducted.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment. I really enjoyed reading it. The NFL is so much the right place at the right time and Rice was fortunate to be drafted by Bill Walsh, have Montana, Young and Rich Gannon (who was the best QB in the AFC from 99-02, not Manning or Brady) throw him the ball. It't not taking anything away from Rice's accomplishments but it was certainly beneficial what was around him during his career. Furthermore, it's so hard for WRs to get into the HOF nowadays but Isaac Bruce was one of the best during his time and his 1995 season needs to be respected more. Thank you so much for the comment. Happy holidays.

Very interesting comment. Those 1991 seasons for Miller and Rypien might be better than any season Grbac had. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@nujeru99]

Isaac Bruce was an AMAZING WR that somehow gets underrated. He was great on many WOEFUL Rams’ teams of the 90s, long before the “Greatest Show on Turf” happened in ‘99. I’m so glad Herman Moore was also mentioned, as he’s one of the most underappreciated wideouts of the last 30 years

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Herman was awesome for a short period of time. I have a lot of respect for Herman Moore. Him and Sterling Sharpe in that old NFC Central were some bad dudes. Thanks for the comment.

[@miggy25]

@@90sSportsNostalgia your vids are so fantastic. Not only is the information terrific and all-encompassing, but the graphics and editing take me right back to the 90s! Herman Moore was a terrific WR who I feel would've been more noticed if he had a top-level QB throwing him the ball. He had the likes of Eric Kramer, Rodney Peete, and Scott Mitchell tossing him the football

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

The Saint Louis Rams from 1995-1998 sucked They had no QB no running attack no anything on offense
